Dumplings are such a beloved food in Australia that we even have a national annual dumpling eating championship. The competition this year was held in Pitt Street Mall, Sydney, on 2nd February during the Chinese New Year.

Isaac Harding claimed the title by consuming 30 dumplings within 2 minutes, far exceeding the other eight competitors and breaking the previous world record of 18 dumplings.
